Every harvest moon, the Witch Collector rides into our valley and leads one of us to the home of the immortal Frost King, to remain forever. Today is that day—Collecting Day. But he will not come for me. I, Raina Bloodgood, have lived in this village for twenty-four years, and for all that time he has passed me by. His mistake. Raina Bloodgood has one desire: kill the Frost King and the Witch Collector who stole her sister. On Collecting Day, she means to exact murderous revenge, but a more sinister threat sets fire to her world. Rising from the ashes is the Collector, Alexus Thibault, the man she vowed to slay and the only person who can help save her sister. Thrust into an age-old story of ice, fire, and ancient gods, Raina must abandon vengeance and aid the Witch Collector or let their empire—and her sister—fall into enemy hands. But the lines between good and evil blur, and Raina has more to lose than she imagined. What is she to do when the Witch Collector is no longer the villain who stole her sister, but the hero who’s stealing her heart? The Witch Collector is book one in a thrilling romantic fantasy series, perfect for fans of Naomi Novik, Sarah J. Maas, and Jennifer L. Armentrout.

Kick off the convo with a theory, question, musing, or update
DNF. this is a rom fantasy novel that does both romance and fantasy badly :(
-romance: they like each other immediately for no reason (just attraction??) it takes the oomph out of any romantic tension. sad!!
-fantasy: uh…who dis villain and why is he bad? also what was this heroines short sighted plan to try to kill the witch collector who she immediately fell in love with within one day? uh and that sudden reveal of the hero’s back story + all these gods was such a weird way to world build in the MIDDLE of the book.
0This book only gets two stars because I finished it…
This book was absolutely outrageous to read. Like I hated very second of reading it but I needed to finish it (curse my inability to DNF).
These characters were frustrating. They made ridiculous decisions constantly— like to the point I was scoffing and rolling my eyes throughout. The tone of the book was weird and it was insanely difficult to connect to any of the characters, despite having three POVs. Also, I know this is a fantasy book and a lot of world building has to take place but the info dumps were so boring and so randomly placed.
and one more thing… HOW WAS SHE SO CHILL WITH BEING TOLD THAT THEY HAVE A 300 YEAR AGE GAP LIKE WHAT THE HECK YOURE JUST GONNA GLOSS OVER THAT?! IMMORTALITY ISNT COMMON IN THE WORLD BUT YOUR JUST GONNA ACCEPT IT LIKE ITS NOTHING??
